Dermatologist,  's  Response
The medicines prescribed to you are ok but they do have an irritating potential and need to be used cautiously.The supratret gel has to be applied only at night and that too over the affected areas in small amounts. It is good that that you have stopped the medicine and should now apply clobetasone cream for few days. Once the reaction subsides you can start with the same medicines but with extra caution. You can use the facewash once daily and apply the supratret gel for short duration each night and increase the application time slowly. As far as diet is concerned decrease the intake of sugary foods and junk food. Avoid applying make up on your face, keep it as dry as possible and avoid oiling of scalp.
